Up next, we make our regular post-Gameweek assessment of the Opta data for our members.
The improved performances of Alvaro Morata, Jamie Vardy and Raheem Sterling come under close scrutiny, along with Man City’s relentless attack.
We also check out the impact of want-away midfield big-hitters Alexis Sanchez and Philippe Coutinho, before casting an eye over Marcos Alonso’s downturn in output as the Fantasy exodus on him picks up pace.
A
Play Carroll vs whu OR Zanka vs spurs?
Carroll.
Help me out - make one of these changes or stick?
1) Firmino, Eriksen >> Vardy, Salah (-4pts)
2) Firmino > Vardy (FT)
3) Stick and have 2FT next week
Current team
1FT £0.3itb
Foster, Elliot
Alonso, Bavies, Jones, Mbemba, Schindler
Eriksen, Mkhi, Ritchie, RLC, Carroll
Aguero, Kane, Firmino
Cheers in advance
I done no2 and have same front 3
Have the exact same problem and the same front 3. I want Firmino out but badly want Lukaku in. Also questioning whether the 2FT will be gold for international break...
I am going Aguero > Kaku I think. Sticking with Firmino presently pending tonight's fixtures. It's a tough one.
Not nervous of no Liverpool points?
I don't like the sound of Aguero > Lukaku as it would literally be a 1 week transfer for the PAL game
Firmino on the other hand I just generally off the pace so more of a long term option to remove
I'd hold and have 2 ft for the international break
What would you do with this lot?
de Gea (Elliot)
Davies Dawson Otamendi (Fernández) (Löwe)
Mkhitaryan Eriksen Choupo-Moting Atsu (Carroll)
Lukaku (C) Kane Vardy
Is the midfield too light?
Thank you!
G2G
Azpi + alonso anyone?
Just the one
Too pricey for me.
Bit pricey for my team but might get Luiz gw9
Yes I like this Combination Alonso will prob garnish more points than any other 7m or less player and Azpi is good value at 6.5m.
I play to replace Firmino with Alonso or Azpi next week.
Any PS4 gamers here? Is the network down for you?
yeh its down
any overwatch players wanna form a team? 🙂
no my PS4 network is working atm
Re Hemed's ban
According to the local press
Izzy Brown (5.3 mid) frontrunner to replace Hemed up top for next 3.
Outside chance Jamie Murphy (4.9 mid) could be used as a false 9.

So you're saying we should captain Monreal
Well it's certainly not looking good for Brighton goals.
Matt Ryan looking nailed now, Jonty?
He always was nailed.
Krul brought in for competition.
Also Krul signing permanently was more about freeing up one of their two loan alllocations - which they will need in January re striker.
Cheers, thinking of going Foster to Ryan next week if nothing else comes up, great rotation with Elliot and Brighton looking solid at home.
may do that as well...haven't looked into the rotation yet with Elliot so good to know at least one goes well with him.
another nail in the budget striker template coffin. cheapest starting striker worth having looking like vardy, maybe chicarito if you're maschocistic
Let's hope his finishing has improved...... http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/10897571/brown-misses-sitter-in-play-off-final
any thoughts on my team appreciated
Fabianski
Alonso, Jones, Davies, Mee
Mhiktaryan, Eriksen, Ritchie
Lukaku, Aguero, Firmino
Elliot, Carroll, RLC, Long
1.1 in the bank and 1 free transfer to do.
currently thinking about morata, I want rid of firmino, maybe alonso to azpili, concerned about eriksen, and do i want kane back lol.
Get kane for kun
A) Azpi - Eriksen - Kane - Abraham (or any other budget FW up to 6.3)
B) Clark - Alli - Kane - Vardy
C) Monreal - Alli - Lukaku - Vardy
D) Stones - Alli - Kane - Rooney
E) Monreal - Eriksen - Kane - Rooney
I really want Kane though (after this GW). I'm tempted to go A.
A
Salah or Alli as captain?
Alli.
Neither
I'm seriously thinking Firmino > Vardy
I know Mane is back but don't think it's enough and Vardy will explode, what do you think?
Thanks
Seems reasonable.
i don't think anyone could blame you if you went either way, its a fair transfer to make. go with your gut
Done that move already.
Firmino could haul, but he's looking less and less like a striker. A penalty this week would be annoying.
I'm sticking with firm this week.. if he blanks then i will bounce him out with a couple of harder fixtures coming up
Same here.. WC in mind for gw8
Would take firmino out if this week is also a blank
I've done the move Firmino 3 blanks on the bounce and Vardy scored 3 games on the bounce no brainer for me
I'm currently within just 0.1 of my ideal wildcard team - which includes Vardy.
If he goes up and Firmino goes down before Friday I may have to act and switch them.
Not keen on a pounds rather than points move....but I think in this case Vardy could easily get more.
Thanks guys. Pains me to do this but Vardy it is! Firm just doesn't look a natural goal scorer and Vardy got easier run of games and also risk he will go up in value and Firmino down
Alonso & Richarlison to Monreal & Sterling -4 points.
Worth the hit?
no way
No
what would you rather wc into?
A. morata, d.silva & vardy
B. aguero, hazard & chicharito
i thought A but RMT says B.
I'll go A
A
A
Who de we think scores more this weekend out of the below options?
1) Kane (c) + Jesus + Atsu
2 Jesus (c) + Firmino + Alli + 4
1, but jesus looks better next few GWs
I have them both, will captain them in turns.
2 with Alli captain
I've captained him twice this season, was disastrous. IMO none of the Spurs assets apart from Kane are good enough for captaincy.
Kane is the better captaincy option sure, just don't think the hit is worth it if you're bringing in Atsu for Alli as part of it. And Alli is a better option than Jesus this week
Appreciate your inputs, cheers mate. 🙂
Looks ok for next week ?
DDG
Holebas berty sanchaez
Sterling Salah ibe Eriksen
Lukaku firmino wood
Elliot walker matic 3.9
Thinking to use WC in gw8
ive been away, is there an article on Eriksen to read?
illness, hopefully ready on weekend
75% seem accurate?
Should be fine... wait for the presser
Should I use free chip ?
From this
Elliot
Bavies Otamendi naughton
Ritchie Brady salah silva
Aguero Kane lukaku
Krul Mee Carroll Mbemba
To this
Elliot
Bellerin jones Bavies
Mkhi coutinho kayoute Ramsey
Lacazette lukaku Kane (c)
4.0 4.4 4.0 4.0
Gets me mkhi Ramsey lacazette bellerin jones for free ?
No
Na.
Been thinking of using it myself want a good week going into the break I know it's not guaranteed but could put together a great side for this gw. Your team looks good for this mate but if u wanna use the chip it's up to u don't let people influence you
This gw*
Thanks seems like it could be worth extra 20 points if arsenal and Man U go mad
Could well be. I put this lot together
Pickford
Bellerin Jones Monreal Bavies
Salah Mkhi Atsu
Kane Lukaku Lacazette
Think it will score well
That's a great team for his game week and for me a clever week to use the chip
Every person you ask on here will disagree though lol
I can see the argument for and against could be a waste of a chip when blank game weeks come later in year but this week does have potential
Yep I agree very tempting though
I'm wildcarding over the International Break, so what should I do for this weekend? I'm thinking of a straight swap Jesus to Lacazette (a), or doing Alli/Eriksen for Ramsay, and Jesus to Kane for -4 (b).
1FT - 0.4m ITB
Foster (Elliot)
Bertrand - Mee - Jones (Otamendi, Mariappa)
Mooy - Alli - Mkhitaryan - Eriksen - (Loftus-Cheek)
Lukaku - Chicharito - Jesus
Cheers
Jesus to lacazette for me
This
do i need to make any changes?
Fabianski
Alonso, Jones, Davies, Mee
Mhiktaryan, Eriksen, Ritchie
Lukaku, Aguero, Firmino
Elliot, Carroll, RLC, Long
1.1 in the bank and 1 free transfer to do.
Nope strong team
would probably start Carroll over Mee
This.
GTG lads? 1FT
Foster
Bellerin Jones Naughton
Eriksen Mkhitaryan Choupo-Moting Carroll
Kane Lukaku Aguero
Bench: Elliot, RLC, Zanka, Mbemba
G2G
Mendy my only ManCity player atm, have Alonso Kolasinac and Davies and think Im sticking with 442 for now
Replacement
A) Walker, threat
B) Azpi double up with Alonso, rising it seems but in long run not as much threat
C) Bellerín double up with Kola, nice fixtures and little extra cash.
All 3 have nice fixtures except for this week Bellerín looks much better than other two.
B
What's your bench like? Could save ft for 2 during the break
Bench Carroll Chalobah Hunemeier so only Carroll basically.
Ye bench isn't great. All are good options imo Chelsea fixtures are great after the break aswel
Any time frame for xG in the members area? Would be really handy next week...
Nice article! 🙂
How this looking for GW7? Thanks 🙂
Foster
Monreal • Trippier • Daniels
Mkhitaryan • Ramsey • Eriksen • Atsu
Lukaku • Kane(C) • Firmino
(Elliot, Carroll, Suttner, Long)
Tidy
Cheers 🙂
1) Jesus -> Morata
2) Firmino -> Vardy
3) Both (have 2FT)
3
both good moves imo
Both
Both. If either or both pay off you'll be welll ahead of the curve.
Guys. Anyone know of Kanes stats post UCL game?
Captained him vs Swansea and got burnt earlier. But his away record is insane.
Difficult Kane vs Lukaku captaincy choice for me, and in sure many others
Someone posted this.. i think it's around 81 min per goal for him
Kane is definitely a good captain choice but Lukaku is a safer option
By safer i mean most of the people would be going for Lukaku
Thanks mate
Foster, Hegazi to Fabianski, Mbemba for free.. yes or no?
Would love to get Lascelles but need to use the money somewhere else next week
Why isn't Jones flagged?
Should he be?
Injured players generally are
Didn't know he was injured
He's not injured, just rested.
Sell Aguero for Lukaku?
A.yes
B.no
No
Nah, unless you're gonna get him back next week. Our fixtures aren't great after Palace so I'm looking to ship him on after that game.
If I need to get one from Salah ot Coutinho as Pool cover for next month who would you prefer?
Do you think that after the internationals it would be a good idea to do Eriksen to Mane when the fixtures of the two teams turn around?
Best Chelsea defensive option appart from Azpi (long term)
alonso
Cahill
6 years, 7 months agoA) Aguero > Lukaku; or
B) Firmino > Rashford.
Want United coverage v Palace.
